Jesus called out, “Come follow me and I will show you how to fish for the souls of men”! Matt. 4:19

In today’s culture, we are much more likely to win people to Christ by becoming their friend and serving them. People are looking for other people who are authentic and real. They respond to people who are willing to do what it takes to build and retain a friendship.This is the fundamental secret of telling others about Christ.

3 ways I have found to share Christ with others... this may help you in your passion to tell others also!

1. Find common ground...

Whatever a person is like, I try to find common ground with him so that he will let me tell him about Christ and let Christ save him. I do this to get the Gospel to them and also for the blessing I myself receive when I see them come to Christ. 1 Cor. 9:22-23

2. Use stories... People love personal stories. People can relate to them and it builds a bridge to the Gospel. Jesus used this principle often and expertly...

With many stories like these, Jesus presented his message to them, fitting his stories to their experience and maturity. Mark 4:33

About My Life

I'm Karl Barancik, with my wife, best friend, and lover Kathi. I am a husband, father, grandpa, pastor, life coach, and lover of life. I have been a pastor of a progressive, non denominational church for over 25 years. I have made some good choices during my lifetime, such as... heaven over hell, blessing over curse, forgiveness over regrets, Mac over PC, Kathi over 3 billion women, debt free over indebted, downsizing over upscale, Starbucks over Tim Hortons (sorry Canada), fathering over absence, God's Word over any other... and it has proved to be the right ones so far... still choosing... how about you?
